How to invest where you live
The general guide covers the order of operations. This is the country-specific layer: which regulator to check, which instruments actually exist where you bank, and what the tax basics look like. Choose your country.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the right instrument depend on my country?
Because market infrastructure, tax rules and even inflation dynamics differ sharply by country. A government bond bought directly online (Tesouro Direto in Brazil, CETES in Mexico) plays a similar role to a CEDEAR in Argentina, but the mechanics, risk and tax treatment are not interchangeable.
Is this tax or legal advice?
No. Tax rules referenced here are general and change over time — confirm current rates and treatment with a licensed accountant in your country before filing or making a decision based on tax outcome.
What if I split my time or money between two of these countries?
Read both guides. Cross-border investors usually end up with instruments in more than one country — the goal here is to understand each piece, not to pick only one.
